Do you know a former premier of China 朱鎔基. I read his name somewhere written as 朱(金+容)基. Can you please explain me why do we have to divide 鎔 into 金+容 and write it like this?
I know that 金 and 容 are radicals and 鎔 is formed by combining these radicals, but the question is what’s the point of writting it like this by splitting the the character into radicals instead of writing it simply as 鎔. There are many words that can be split into radicals but they are not, then why this one?
Thanks

I think you use the wrong version of this character, it’s not simplified.
Therefore our previous premier’s name should be “朱镕基” not “鎔”

But this radical indicated the meaning of “gold”, I looked up the dictionary.
